View Host Associations

Some of the hosts in the vSphere Auto Deploy inventory might not be compliant with the active deploy rules. To verify that one or more ESXi hosts are compliant with the active rule set, you must check the host associations compliance.

Prerequisites

• Prepare your system and install the Auto Deploy Server. For more information, see Prepare Your System for vSphere Auto Deploy in the vSphere Web Client.
• Create a vSphere Auto Deploy rule. See Create a Deploy Rule.
• Activate a vSphere Auto Deploy rule. See Activate, Deactivate, and Reorder Deploy Rules.

Procedure

1. Navigate to Home > Auto Deploy.
   By default, only the administrator role has privileges to use the vSphere Auto Deploy service.
2. Check the host associations compliance
   The Check Host Associations Compliance window displays the current status of the host and whether the host is compliant with the active rule set. You can view the currently assigned image profile, host profile, host location, script bundle, and the associations that will take effect after a remediation of the host.

   Option	Steps
   If you want to check the host associations compliance of a single host	On the Deployed Hosts tab, select an ESXi host. Click Check Host Associations Compliance.

   If you want to check the host associations compliance of multiple hosts	On the Deployed Hosts tab, select multiple ESXi hosts. Click Check Host Associations Compliance. Confirm that you want to check the compliance of all selected hosts. Review the compliance status of the hosts in the left pane. (Optional) Select a host to view the compliance status details. (Optional) Select a host and click Remediate . (Optional) Select the Remediate all host associations after rule activation check box to remediate all hosts. Close the Check Host Associations Compliance window.
